EUROVISION!

[stokeriño]

Apparently Norton can't drink either, because he's on medication.

Man, he's going to be tired and grumpy by the end of it.

I'm worried that I'm getting my hopes up too high for Jade. My mind drifts to the idea of her winning, but deep down I know it won't happen.

I'd be happy with Norway winning, and in all honesty, the Azerbaijani entry is really good, too, so if the east has to win, then I'm happy for it to be them.

[Farmer Reil]

They should've won last year. Or at least came second to Latvia.

[Adam]

Annoyingly, this clashes with Primeval and BGT. I'll have to watch those two tomorrow now

[Walker]

This is why I love Eurovision. What else, other than the Olympic Opening Ceremony, has this kind of theatrics?

[The Kraig]

Lithuania wins the 'Gayest Hat' award, so far anyways. And that includes the circus dudes and the weird postcard hats on the model.

[Farmer Reil]

Well, Graham Norton's pissing me off already, but Lithuania weren't bad and the opening ceremony was badass.

Oooh, a deep and meaningful song... with five whole words that people other than Israelis can understand. Great way to get your point across Israel.

Jesus Christ... France aren't winning. Nil points? Straight-up songs only work if the performer has some level of talent. This chick sounds like a nervous little kid being forced at gunpoint to make a tit of himself on live International TV.

I wonder which is the Jew and which is the Arab...

This is like a weird lesbian Romeo/Juliet story between Israel and Palestine. I love it.

[therockbox]

Are they supposed to be lesbians?

If so, they should win. And do a video.

[The Kraig]

As much as I don't want to see France win, they always have a decent entry.

There's a first time for everything. This is shit.

Did she have something stuck in her throat?

[The Kraig]

Did she have something stuck in her throat?

She's just old. Did you see her knees shaking at the end? She could barely stand much longer.

Sweden have failed for me already. Howling out of key is not good listening. Holy shit this is bad. Be ashamed Sweden.

I love how the Singalong red button thing translates the English lyrics into English too. And is this actually Ulrika Johnson? Seriously? And why is the Swedish entry's chorus in French? Also, this is pretty shit.

ULRIKA!!

[Walker]

Enjoyed that. My fave so far.

[The Kraig]

This guy clearly wants a record deal with Simon Cowell. Look at those fucking trousers!

This is actually alright, music-wise.

2 - Sweden

3 - France

4 - Lithuania (who I have forgotten already)

5 - Croatia (wailing is not good, like, ever)
